Title: Peggy's right ankle
Post by: hardwood on April 01, 2013, 08:40:38 pm
Thought y'all might like to see what Peggy has been dealing with. It's been a long road so far but she's a real trooper with it all. She's able to walk to some extent now with a cane or walker but still has some healing to do. She'll be a t Bud5 though...wouldn't miss that!

Anything for my forum friends you know that Scott! :-D
Looks like the same thing Josh had done. Was that a tri something fracture? I can't remember the term for it.

I don't know Ken, I just know she crunched it pretty good! She was in surgery for 5.5 hrs so that's about a half hour per screw.

What Josh ahd was a Trimalleolar_fracture that involved both the bones and part of the ankle.
I wish her a speedy recovery.

Man, that hurts me just looking at it.  Tough little lady you got there, Scott.  No need in getting in a hurry going through security at airports anymore....or hospitals or courthouses or...  :)

Glad to hear she's doing well with it, Scott.

I feel for you Peggy. My right ankle looks pretty much the same. Mine was from a skydiving, first and only, accident. I totally dislocated the angle socket and broke it in 3 places. Be careful not to bump those pins on the plate that are sticking out. They sure do hurt, even when you bump them ever so lightly. Be sure to keep up your stretching therapy.

Doc has issued her a "scanner pass" , a card that they can scan at security points not only describes the metal implants but shows an x-ray to boot!
